I have 2 ebooks for sale…
I have 2 ebooks for sale at various online stores through draft2digital. They are collections of my microfiction stories: one with illustrations, one without.
My royalties for September are $0.52 USD. Not bad considering I don’t promote them and they’re several years old. But that 52 cents is loosing value.
At today’s BTC price, that’s about 827 sats. And those sats gain value.
This is why I’m so excited about Nostr as a way for artists of all kinds to be able to connect directly with those who appreciate the creative work. People who are willing to toss a few sats in appreciation.
As Gigi said, “People want to support the stuff they love, and they're willing to pay for it. Not all people, but ~4% of them. And that is enough.”
I’ve focused on art since joining Nostr, because a picture is worth a thousand words: someone decides almost instantly whether or not they like what they see, whether they zap in that moment or not.
Those thousand words (or in the case of my microfiction, 300 words) take time read, maybe even think about, in the midst of scrolling through all those other short notes and photos and visual art.
I think stories are a harder sell, regardless of the means of payment. But it’s something I want to explore next year with Nostr.
